    Came here cuz I’ve been catching up and … I cannot believe you let Jo Robinson play Hamnet before it had a wide release. Also, someone tell her to stop referring to actors and other industry players by their first name only.

I was so invested in “the list” that I was fast forwarding the intros and discussions, and was often left disappointed when my favorites were snubbed. But the more I listened, the more I started to enjoy every hilarious retelling of childhood memory or prolonged back and forth about the virtues of Start Trek V.

    Maybe someday AI will let us excise a GM talking, like Jordan.
